Chapter 591: Pure Land Exile
After listening to the earth-shattering secret thrown by Solomon, Dongfang Chen opened his mouth wide and let out a long sigh. He was very sensible and did not ask questions to interfere, but patiently listened to the other party's continued emotion.
Then Solomon said, "Alas, I was too young and vigorous.
Ever since the infinitely revered goddess became Athea the Warden, and in the blink of an eye to the Baron, a member of the God Butcher, I have been reflecting on the decisions and things I have made over the years.
Now it seems that I was wrong all along. I didn't appreciate the good intentions of the pioneers of Yarum, and I regarded the guards as gods and thieves as fathers, so that I made mistakes again and again, thinking that the people of Yarum were the first to betray the goddess and the empire.
It's me, I'm ...... Denounced them to the goddess. Maybe they saw my naivety and undetermination early on, so they completely disappeared.
Commander Dongfang, I heard that when the Great West Continent sank, the four major families braved the danger of the sky falling apart, the hurricane and the tsunami, and tried their best to find something.
Could it be the Fragment of Light you've been looking for?
Unfortunately, my friends and I were both born after the fall of the Empire, and we don't know much about the hidden legends and the struggle of the Yarum Heralds against the Wardens.
Sorry for not being able to help you. ”
Hearing that Solomon finally realized his true mistake, Dongfang Chen felt sincerely relieved. In fact, he always knew that Solomon had reservations in his heart, mainly because of a great sense of loss and confusion of losing his direction.
He has always been conceited of his sacred mission, and suddenly one day he finds that the world is no longer centered on him, and everything is out of his control, what kind of mentality will he have? Whether it is the God Butcher or the Guardians, loss and resentment are inevitable.
Once the former king is marginalized, it is by no means a meal or two of chicken soup for the soul that can make him recover, which requires him to untie this knot himself.
The reason why Dongfang Chen had to bring Solomon to join him on his journey of discovery was to see through his contradictory and tangled psychology. Solomon, as the leader of the A3 organization, and who lived for tens of thousands of years, was the representative of the group of homeless people after the sinking of Atlantis, he must know something, and by exploring the secrets of that lost country, let him also participate in it, and in the process repeatedly stimulate his memory and conscience, when the time comes, what should come will come, and what should be said will be said.
Dongfang Chen was not surprised by Solomon's sudden confession, except for some things that he could reasonably deduce, but he was unfamiliar with the words "Four Great Families".
So he asked, "Father Solomon, did Atlantis have a family so long ago?
Solomon was silent for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, and then replied: "In the imperial era, the empire was firmly controlled by four classes of people, namely the priest class, the sacrificial class, the consul class, and the warrior class. Each of them has distinct characteristics, independent of each other but closely connected.
The people of the empire generally refer to them as the Four Great Families, who are arguably the de facto rulers of the Atlantean Empire, ruling and maintaining everything in the empire.
In the post-imperial era of the sinking of the Great Western Continent, the survivors of these people went with the flow and blended into the world, calling themselves the Pure Land Exiles. This is the precursor to the New Humanity and A3.
Mingta and I were born in the samurai class of the four major families. Of course, in our former native language, we are members of the Guardian Family: Ishdar of Heroes.
The other three families also have special titles: the House of the Divine Servants: Aloy the Pious, the House of Sacrifices: Tias the Sacrificial, and the House of the Archons: Efao the Humble.
Among them, the status of the Divine Servant Family Aloy is the most respected, they represent the eyes and ears and voice of the gods, have absolute authority in the empire, and their words and deeds are sacrosanct. Since the formation of this family, except for the first dozens of kings in the empire, all subsequent kings have been recommended and elected by this family. Not only that, but any decree of the king had to be approved by them in order to be legitimate.
Hehe, to put it mildly, the Imperial King and his staff and advisors are actually Aloy's puppets!"
Dongfang Chen was taken aback when he heard this: "My God, hundreds of thousands of years ago, you began to play high-end politics, and at that time, the ancients in other parts of the earth were still in the Stone Age, right?"
Wow, it's amazing, it's incredible!"
Solomon laughed to himself: "Hehe, nothing to be surprised about. Our kingdom was originally created by the Wardens after the real Atlantean Empire. Subtly, they naturally transmitted that atmosphere to us.
That's why Femira had to destroy our home. Because the traces of human intervention are so severe, everything on that island no longer belongs to the category of civilization evolution, but more like a giant model toy. If nothing else, Commander of the East, what civilization have you seen in its embryonic stage adopt such a sound centralized monarchy as a state?
If the Empire continues to develop on this scale, the Wardens will eventually lose control of the Earth, which is something Femira absolutely does not want to see!"
In Dongfang Chen's consideration, what Solomon said was only one of the reasons why Atlantis had to be destroyed, and he felt that there was a deeper meaning in it. So he nodded and said, "Go on, Father." What about the other three families?"
Solomon continued: "As the empire grew and prospered, there were more and more things to be involved, and the Aloys were already very few in number, and there were more important things waiting for them, and they gradually felt that they needed help. So the other three families came into being.
Tias, as a full-time sacrificial family, helped Aloy with the priestly side. The group was chosen by them to be in charge of the administration of the Empire.
Later, the inheritance and continuation of the four major families gradually evolved into some kind of convention. Without Aloy's authorization and the seal issued, no one would recognize you as a member of the Four Great Families. On the other hand, the four major families gradually coalesced into a common unity because of the relationship between Aloy. It is said that it is the four major families, but in fact, it is the four branches under the same ruling system.
Later, when the Great Western Continent sank and the empire was destroyed, their group of people faded out of the stage of history, but they did not disappear extinction, and continued to use the name of the Pure Land Exile to secretly surge......
Hehe, Pure Land exiles, don't I think I was proud of this name at the beginning, but now ......."
Dongfang Chen waited for a long time and didn't see Solomon's next words, so he wondered: "Mr. Priest, aren't you the four major families? And there's another family? You haven't introduced it yet.
Didn't you say that you, and the Knights of Genshin Punishment, were all from that family? ”
The muscles on Solomon's face twitched visibly a few times, and then he groaned in pain: "Commander Dongfang, I hope you don't be surprised after listening to what I said later.
As I said earlier, the Aloy family found two groups of helpers because they didn't have time to be distracted by anything else. Do you know what is the thing that is less important than anything in their minds?"
Dongfang Chen was even more puzzled, so he had to shake his head.
Solomon continued: "Develop the Yarum religion, fight against unknown dangers, and seek a ray of life in the whirlpool of fate!
Alas, the story of the 'Heroic Epic' project is long, Captain, and listen to me in detail......"
